The series FUN AND GAMES by American photographer Lisa Kereszi is subtitled: “Looking hard at the places we go for escape” – a detailed look behind the facades of the places that people create as places of escapism, places of pleasure, distraction, entertainment. Theme parks, amusement parks, bars, strip clubs and discos – “these places live from the darkness. Seen in daylight, their reality has a very surreal aspect,” Kreszi describes her fascination for these locations.
